Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 (NCP-MCI) — Question 32

A security team asks an administrator to set up port mirroring of a specific source VM to a target VM.
What must the administrator ensure for this configuration to be possible?

Answer options

• A. Source VM and Target VM are on the same subnet.
• B. Source VM and Target VM are on the same host.
• C. Source VM and Target VM are on the same VPC.
• D. Source VM and Target VM are on the same VLAN.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because port mirroring typically requires both the source and target VMs to be on the same host to facilitate the direct mirroring of traffic. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they pertain to network configurations that do not guarantee the necessary access for port mirroring between the two VMs.
